Hey there im looking for a while now but i cant seem to find a legit/trusted way to root my shield. I realy want to root it because i like fully customizing my devices and modifying apps. Please leave links to the right working software versions. I prefer: twrp, super su as the software to root my device. Also adb and the drivers are needed. Im not realy familiar with the new way of rooting. The only device i have ever rooted was a samsung tablet on 4.4 kitkat with a 1 click root app. All help is appreciated!

Is there also any proof that it will work and will the stock nvidia apps stay after rooting???
Also thanks!!!
Is this video still really working on 7.0 os 5.2?
Also I heard you don't need shield family drivers on win 10 is that true???

I know you've already accomplished it. But just for the record, yes there is proof it works. Plenty of folks have rooted with both SuperSU and Magisk. Both work, and I've also used both to root this device; and the NVIDIA apps still work.

I don't think you really need them. Pretty sure I rooted the device without installing the Shield drivers. If any issues connecting to the device, than try the drivers.

Ok thnx. Im also kinda looking at migisk is there also any real benefits of using that on a tablet or should I just stop playing Pokémon go .
Im nog doing something with xphosed so that's not a big deal. But I do device customization will that interfere with that safety check thing?

Magisk is really cool. Magisk Hide works well, although it's turning into a real cat and mouse game, where Google has been updating Safety net to break Magisk Hide, but then topjohnwu updates Magisk Hide to work again. It's a bit annoying, but topjohnwu seems to have a good handle on it, for now.
Magisk also has a bunch of cool modules. Those are mods that can be toggled off and on, so no need to dirty flash ROMs to "uninstall" mods, etc. You can check out the Magisk module collections in the Magisk forum section.
You might also check out the new suhide, if you don't want to switch to Magisk. Apparently suhide will pass Safety Net. But I haven't checked it out, personally.

How are you trying to install? After downloading, try to go to "Modules" in the menu, then tap the + icon, and select the module to install.
Also, go into Magisk Manager settings, and make sure "Magisk Core Mode Only" is not selected.
Not all modules work with all devices, and I also think a lot of the modules have not been updated to the new template for Magisk 13, so that might be causing the problem also.
You might try to download a module(s) from the Magisk forum section, and see if you can install it. Once downloaded, I think it should appear in the Magisk "Modules" section, if you tap the + button (as suggested above). Or alternately, I think you can flash in TWRP. The forum has a lot of cool modules that don't appear in the "Download" section of the Magisk Manager app, so I often download them from the forum threads, anyway.

I know nothing about that particular device, so you should post in that device specific (Nexus 5X) forum, for the most accurate info.
In general for most Android phones, rooting should not affect service through your carrier. They might give you some baloney about not providing tech support for rooted devices, or not being able to "activate" it on their network. But as long as the phone already works on your carrier, rooting will not affect your cell service.

Hi everyone,
did anybody manage to hide root for some apps (banking - pushtan)?
I've read about suhide but i cant make it work, im not even sure if systemless supersu is working (if its really systemless or not).
Other apps like root cloak dont work..
Thanks in advance
LS
The only solution I found so far is Magisk v6 (v7 does not work). It works for some apps (but not for Pokemon GO any more), but I think it will not work any more at all because of the latest changes with SafetyNet.
You can try SuperSU v2.78 R1 with suhide, but you will need Android 6 with TWRP 3.x or FlashFire.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/suhide-t3450396
Are you using one of the said 'solutions' to hide your root? Idc about pogo, its all about banking apps.
Well i tried magisk v7, but no success.
I have 2.78. SR1 installed, but im not sure if im systemless or not. I also have Android 6 and TWRP 3.0.2.0 but i cant flash suhide.
I've read some (or alot) about hiding root, also with phhs superuser but i cant make it work on my H6 L04. Thats why i'm asking here . I know that Huawei devices like it the hard way..

You really should have read the Magisk-Thread, there is clearly stated for v7 in the changelog: "Remove root management API; both SuperSU and phh has their own superior solutions"

AFAIK there is no fully working TWRP 3.x version for the H60-Lxx, that's the reason probably.
Since you have Android 6 maybe you can try to flash with FlashFire.
Hehe, you're right i did not fully read those Magisk threads but what you quoted was only about the root management - the apps supersu and superuser itself - so v7 should work.
I'll take a look at the future goings off those apps.
There is a 3.x TWRP for our Honor, its also on the official TWRP website. I never had any problems with this, except the bug where touch wont work anymore till reboot in recovery.
Also no success with flashfire, so i guess its (supersu) just not fully systemless,eventhough the app says so.
I've hoped (or thought) that its just a huawei/emui 'problem'.

It's been a long time for me to use honor 6 (soft bricked it beyond repair ) so don't remember exactly, but for my honor 7, this trick always works no matter what.

Well i just flashed paulobriens RC3 which should be the same as on the official TWRP website,as hes the maintainer.
So now i managed to flash suhide 0.54 on top of systemless 2.78 SR1, but im bootlooping. Maybe because of tops xposed 86.2.
This combo shouldnt need any magisk so i'll take a closer look when i got a pc on my hand.
Bump it
Did you try Magisk v8?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Magisk wont help much if suhide & xposed makes it loop, i guess .
I would rather not use magisk atm to be honest.
Was hoping someone made it work on honor/huawei.
In the end i'll have to try but when i read the supersu/superuser tgreads it seems like google is doibg oretty "well" anyway.

No, I think banking apps just got better recently. I've made lots of experiments and never managed to hide root from those apps. That´s my big gripe with root.
Hello. I am new to the xda forums. I have successfully rooted my Coolpad catalyst 3622a Android 5.1.1 with kingo root. I then downloaded magisk manager and upgraded to magisk. I used kingo superuser app to remove root which got rid of kingo 14 su and left magisk allowing me to pass safety net with magisk hide so I could play Pokemon go. I was wanting to get systemless Xposed framework on my device again but am not sure I can and play Pokemon go. Is it possible that with magisk 13.3 I can use flashfire in order to flash the Xposed framework on my phone and still play Pokemon go? I can pass safety net check from magisk manager and from saftynet check online. I do not have a custom recovery and am running rooted stock rom. I have had Xposed on this phone before. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Maybe, there are no guarantees. Just try it and see for yourself. If it doesn't work you can always just uninstall Xposed.

You havent successfully done anything. How did you make #/System R/W? You didnt, it may be "rooted" but you cant do crap with it. All you did was install bloatware and add on your device. Even with the OEM Bootloader unlocked in Settings>Developer> you cant remove any System apps, and that device is JUNK. I had one I tried fixing for a friend. Sell it, and buy a Used S6, or Nexus 6, they are BMW's to the Coolpad's Yugo. Stop playing Pokeman and learn how to use ADB. Your time will be better served.

I can and have uninstalled system apps on my device. Also have Xposed framework. As per your first question even I'll admit I don't know. I used a one click root app and then magisk manager.

I know I can use my root functionality because titanium backup, link to sd, greenify, and Xposed framework and modules for Xposed work perfectly for their intintion.

With lollipop, you have to flash Xposed framework via TWRP. If you're rooted, you can try using Fireflash or Flashify to flash the framework but there is no guarantee that it will work, some devices can flash via the apps and some can't.

I used the app from XDA to install exposed on my cp3622a. Worked great.
I see a lot of custom ROMs on https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development but I am not sure which to use. My main goal is to remove all the builtin Samsung apps that I cannot disable/uninstall like Calendar and Internet. I started looking at SuperMan but then saw it has a lot of other enhancements too. I also want to avoid my device being rooted because I have to install apps that won't install if my phone is rooted (GFE/BlackBerry Work).
LineageOS or Resurrection Remix.
Just disable the Samsung apps you don't want. That's the only remedy for you.
SuperMan is probably the closest you'll get to stock. If that's too far off, I'm not really sure of any other options. You could temporarily root and try removing the offending apps, I'm not sure how much the system depends on them.
There's also the option of Magisk (Systemless) root, which shouldn't effect root-adverse apps.
I have rooted stock G930F rom with Magisk and removed close to a 100 system apps. No bugs, no crashes, and it is the best rom there is, if you tweak it right. Btw, you can hide root with Magisk and install your apps.

Please take my advice:
Do NOT root your device.
Cause that has some side effects and nearly no benefits:
You won't be able to encrypt your phone again.
You'll have to install magisk to get some things to work
Do NOT install an AOKP based ROM cause there are severe bluetooth bugs.
Just install "BK Package Disabler (Samsung)" on stockrom and get rid of Samsungs bloatware.
PS:
I'm back to stockrom after installing LOS and I regret that step, cause it tripped the knox-bit.
Perhaps the BT bugs will be fixed in future; then I'll give LOS another shot.
Lol @ this lad above, get your facts straight.
On-topic: I followed root instructions from galaxys7root. For the debloating part, there is a topic called "Debloat your S7" or something like that, which helped me uninstall most of the apps, and the other ones I just uninstalled cause I didn't need them.

Laughing isn't very polite.
On-topic:
How did you get your phone encrypted again?
What are the benefits of being rooted nowadays?
OK, TB would be one thing for me.
And... tinkering.
Do some Google-ing, should get the answers.

Everything I have read says that there are no issues rooting. Lots of folks have done it w/o issues. Maybe yours was a one-off?

Rooting went flawlessly.
I took the TWRP / Magisk way.
OK, loosing all the data is quite normal, when formating data, to get rid of the encryption.
But it trips your knox-fuse with the following consequences:
S-Health does not work anymore. OK, there is a build.prop hack to get it working.
OTA updates will not work anymore.
S-Pay (and others) is said to not work anymore.
Encryption does not work or is risky (look at Chainfires post):
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72204306&postcount=978
No one knows, how long safetynet will be covered by Magisk. Btw.: Magisk is great!
If I am wrong at any point, pls correct me.
I only rooted to use LOS. But there are too many errors atm.
So I returned to stock and have to live with these issues.
So it depends on your usecase.
If you just want to debloat your stockrom, use BK- disabler.
If you want more, root it.

Can BK disabler disable or uninstall some of the built-in apps like Calendar and Contacts?

Yes. That is the purpose of the app.
And, in my opinion, it works reliable and comfortable.

I rooted, but my S Health is still working

Yes, that's good, so Samsung won't remove my root or any system apps I am using or adding system apps I removed.

S-Pay doesn't work in our country, so what? It's a fail project anyhow.

I really really miss exposed and I really don't want to root as besides exposed I personally have no need to. I just can't seem to get virtual exposed up and running. Along with not finding and good hot to videos on YT. I get it installed and everything just no luck with actual installing module for some reason. TIA for all help or input
if you root with magisk there is a module for xposed framework but it looks old and it says it won't be updated and I haven't tried it

If I rooted I wouldn't need to run virtual or magisk I could just run Xposed. I just don't want to root as it's easier for OTA without root. Especially seeing how often updates are coming for this phone since it got released.

It's called virtual Xposed. It's what my post is mostly about getting it running on the phone. No worries we are all rookies one time or another

I understand your desire not to root, but the only downside to rooting wousl be security, and magisk keeps security intact. Edxposed (unoffical Xposed for Android P) works perfectly fine in magisk.10/10 would recommend. Plus magisk has methods for maintaining root after OTAs

I bought the unlocked model for root truly but I haven't rooted a phone in 3 years since my LG g3 and g4 and for some reason I can't seem to wrap my head around easiest and safest way to root the OP7 . Don't want to break it. Nicest phone I've ever owned.
There's a tool by the guy who maintains TWRP for the phone. It's called tool all in one and can unlock and root your phone with a simple GUI. OTAs are almost as simple as stock, just 2gig files instead of ~500mb. It's just download from oxygen updater, settings local install, TWRP retention script, Magisk inactive slot install, reboot

All that seems amazing and I love the tool kits made for other devices heck I remember rooting GB when it was a one click app just to root your device. Miss those days. I'll have to search more as you really lost me with this part.

Have you tried TaiChi? It's an alternative to virtual exposed.

I don't think you even need the all in one GUI. It's a very simple process.

Yes, but there's EdXposed which is compatible and works flawlessly with Safety net. Not all modules work but that's an Android Pie incompatibility issue, not an Xposed problem.

It was amazingly easy. You just enable developer option, select enable OEM unlocking, back everything up (the phone will get factory reset) and advanced reboot, hook it up to your computer, reboot to bootloader, and then fastboot OEM unlock, reboot your phone to make sure the warning appears and reinitialise the system (since your phone did just get reset), reboot to bootloader, fastboot boot twrp.img, optionally flash the twrp installer, and flash Magisk. Done. Rooted. After installing OTAs, but before rebooting, use the install to slot B option in Magisk manager.

I've been told you can, but I don't have one of those. Carriers are mostly irrelevant outside of the US (and I live outside of the US myself). I use the international, carrier agnostic model (1917).
Rooted, bootloader unlocked, latest magisk and edxposed.
Security for a really good game is tripped and force closes randomly during play, not saving what you did.
Core only mode, no go
Magisk hide no go
Edxposed modules and blacklist, no go.
Read that Google checks if bl is unlocked now so impossible to truly hide, I think this app may also use that info.
Can I keep root and relock bl?
Better app at hiding root from other apps?
Anything I'm just not seeing?
Not good at root without twrp, so weird lol.
Any advice would be much appreciated
Idk if you've figured your problem out but I was having the same issue with a couple of games. Do like you were doing by enabling core mode, magisk hide any app on your phone that requires root, and also hide magisk manager. After all that restart your phone and you should be good to go

It's gotten trickier, but it's been tricky ever since Lolipop; the trickiness just changes, and it JUST CHANGED AGAIN as a matter of fact... If you don't see a thread by me on how to get it going in the Guides section in the next few days, please remind me. I've got bigger fish to fry right now, though. I just got this phone and I tried Omni and Havoc so far on it. I came to see if there's a fix for the screen record issue in Havoc. I thought it said a new kernel had fixed it. Remind me and I'll probably make a YouTube video tutorial about Xposed (actually Edxposed) in Android 10 to celebrate getting my screen recording to work.

Have you ever used edxposed? The way you install with Magisk?
Anyone have the original build.prop ? I have everything done except CTS profile. But I think that's because I had gcam and in there it has me as pixel 2. Can flash, twrp, no screen issues, RR remix latest, going to go stock tho because CTS and my game, it's too much fun
